Editing of famous scenes from the anime, including the opening of the Starburst Air Strike

The image of the Heroic Spirit Red A that she summoned not long ago emerged in Toosaka Rin's mind.

"Why do the Heroic Spirits nowadays have these strange habits..."

As she said this, a hint of helplessness appeared on Toosaka Rin's face.

Shirou Emiya, who was standing aside, had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

Although Altria was summoned by chance, she still looked quite normal.

Feeling the call, Altria appeared out of nowhere at this moment.

"Shirou.....what's going on?"

Altria, as dull as ever, looked at the two of them with a pure face. The two of them felt embarrassed for a moment when they were stared at like that, and their ears turned red.

Especially Toosaka Rin, who felt like she was caught cheating and immediately turned her head away.

At this moment, Shirou Emiya also gave a fake smile and pointed in the direction of the video.

Following the direction pointed by Shirou Emiya, Altria's gaze slowly came to the video screen.

"Merlin!"

Even though she only took a casual glance, Altria recognized the man immediately.

Merlin is one of the few friends that Altria has, a friend with whom she can joke casually. It can be said that he is the man with whom she has the deepest feelings, except for Shirou Emiya.

And this flower magician had defeated her in many competitions.

Altria, who hadn't seen her friend for a long time, was mesmerized by the video in front of her.

She really didn't expect that she would be able to see her old friend in a video.

"Do you know him? This lazy magician... or swordsman..."

Toosaka Rin, who was standing by, couldn't help but complain when she saw Altria so excited.

After hearing Toosaka Rin's complaints, Altria suddenly became embarrassed and kept scratching her hair.

"Don't underestimate his swordsmanship. Even I have suffered many losses under his sword."

“Ah…Altria you…??!”

For a moment, both of them were extremely shocked. They really didn't expect that a magician could compare with Altria's swordsmanship.

In this case, it seems that this guy is not so unreliable.

"But... why is Merlin here......?"

Altria obviously hadn't figured out the current situation yet. She pointed a finger at the video and asked the two of them in confusion.

However, the two of them didn't know how to explain this outrageous thing to the stupid king in front of them.

So...

After a long explanation from the two, and with Dai Mao's superb understanding, she finally...

"So! Are all our enemies inside this machine? Then what are we waiting for? I'll blow it up and go in to help them."

As she spoke, Altria raised the holy sword in her hand.

"Hey! Altria! Please don't!"

"do not want!"

Fortunately, with the quick intervention of the two, King Daimao put down the holy sword in his hand.

"Anyway, we can't help, so now we just have to pray for their victory."

After Shirou Emiya's further explanation, Altria finally calmed down.

"Merlin, the holy sword will lead you to victory!"

Altria finally understood the situation, clasped her hands together and prayed for them.

Elsewhere, Kotomine Kirei, who was also in Fuyuki City, was looking at the man in front of him with an incredible look on his face.

"I thought this guy was a backup or an assistant..."

"I didn't expect that he actually knows swordsmanship, really..."

At this moment, Kotomine Kirei's expression was indescribable.

He also didn't expect that Merlin, a magician, would actually take out a sword at this time. Even though he had participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War, he couldn't understand the situation before him.

"Could it be that... ... there really exists a magician with superb swordsmanship in this world?"

Kotomine Kirei had a bewildered expression on his face, causing Gilgamesh beside him to burst into laughter.

“Haha ...

"As a human, I can possess two different skills at the same time. Why can't I do that as a Heroic Spirit? Can a magician only use magic?"

"Kirei, you are still far from being a Master like the boy in the video before you!"

Obviously, this was a mockery of Kotomine Kirei's ignorance, but Kirei could not deny that his worldview was changing at this moment.

As he is about to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War, he should perhaps understand that a job is not a fixed position for a Heroic Spirit to wield a weapon.

It is precisely because he now understands that the current situation is not impossible that Kotomine Kirei can continue to improve, and even be prepared in advance the next time he encounters a Heroic Spirit using two completely different weapons.

For example...if a heroic spirit wielding a sword suddenly shoots himself, this kind of thing must be prevented as early as possible.

Kotomine Kirei once again felt pleasure.

.............................................................

Back to the high-energy inventory, after a brief discussion, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu nodded repeatedly.

Everyone knew that this was not the time to act on emotion.

As long as Tiamat really returns to the ground, Tiamat has regained her strength, even if all the forces of Uruk rush at her, it will be meaningless.

The Lord of the Underworld, Ereshkigal, also realized the seriousness of the situation at this moment, and the three of them no longer had much verbal communication. Now time is of the essence. If they want to stop Tiamat from returning to the ground, they must first go to a place higher than Tiamat to stop her.

"Merlin! Ishtar! I leave this place to you!"

After leaving their last words, the three of them flew in the direction of Tiamat's ascent. And how could the Lachem group let them go so easily?

With Lahm's speed, even if they were allowed to fly for a distance first, they would eventually catch up with them. However... it was precisely because of this realization that Ishtar continued to follow Lahm's group.

Just when Laheem's tentacles were about to touch Fujimaru Ritsuka, Ishtar attacked in time and knocked a Laheem away.

"Don't try to succeed!"

At this moment, Ishtar was like a god of war, driving the sky boat and continuously crashing into Lahm. The violent impact was so strong that even Lahm could not withstand it. He was smashed heavily against the wall, and a big hole appeared instantly.

"Boom!"

But this alone is far from enough to stop so many Lahms in front of him.

Ishtar kept following behind several Lahms, shooting golden arrows continuously, trying to hold back all of them.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Ishtar used all her strength to forcibly hold back the five Lahems, and not only that......

Although most of the horrific attacks were avoided by Lahm due to his speed, Ishtar relied on his super high mobility to constantly fight with Lahm and strangled several Lahms under the Tianzhou.

Although the current chase is still in a stalemate, the situation has improved significantly with the withdrawal of several Lahms.

However, the development of the next scene made the audience's hearts, which had just relaxed, suddenly hang in the balance again.

The five Lahms actually bypassed Ishtar in front of them, and with their extraordinary speed, they arrived behind Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group in an instant.

"We must stop them from here!"

Whether it was Fujimaru Ritsuka, Ereshkigal, or Mash, they all realized at this moment that if they did not respond to the challenge, they would be eliminated.

"boom!"

A Lahem used its tentacles to charge towards several people. Although it was blocked by Mashu's giant shield, the impact force was obviously much stronger than before.

Mashu felt her arm go numb, and for a moment the shield almost fell off her hand.

At this moment, no matter who they are, their magic power is almost reaching its limit.

However, Lahem didn't think so. These guys had no magic power at all. They had been delaying until now only by relying on their extraordinary strength and speed.

“Bang…Bang…Bang!”

Each Lahem rushed towards Mashu's shield as if they were on drugs. Mashu, who had completely overdrawn her magic power, could not withstand such a powerful attack for a moment and was knocked back to the ground.

"boom!"

Mashu was smashed to the ground, and next to her was Ishtar who was also knocked down.

The situation of both of them is very dangerous.

But the battle was not over yet. Lahm seized the opportunity and smashed towards the two men at a speed that was as fast as breaking through the air.

"Boom!"

Like a cannonball, Lahem used his body to smash a big hole in the ground. Fortunately, both of them avoided the attack in time.

The current situation, however, is not so lucky. Whether it is Mashu, who is receiving the magic power transmission from Fujimaru Ritsuka, or Ishtar, who is still fighting with Lahmu in the sky, their current conditions are very critical.

Compared to just now, it even seems a little weak.

"hateful!"

Ishtar and the troublesome Lahmu are still in a stalemate above the underworld.

On the other side, Merlin, known as the Flower Magician, is protecting Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group who are receiving magic transmission in front of him.

"I really feel.............not so good............"

Ereshkigal looked at the two people in front of her and felt extremely worried for a moment.

Several Lahems, looking at the umbrella men who had no fighting power at all and the magician Merlin who was only a show-off, became very arrogant and confident for a moment and attacked Merlin directly.

"Ding!"

The collision between the ugly black tentacles and the staff made a sharp sound, reminding everyone all the time that the battle was still going on.

“This power…!!!”

After another collision between Lahem and Merlin, both were knocked back several meters by the powerful impact, leaving a deep crack in the ground of the underworld.

"This is.....divine-level power!"

Merlin looked at Lahem in front of him and felt so unbelievable that even his eyes were shaking uncontrollably.

These Lahem... actually have god-level power, how exaggerated.

However, there is no time to worry about that now. If things continue to drag on like this, Tiamat will sooner or later return to Mesopotamia and gain that invincible power. By then...

Human history can be declared extinct.

Merlin is also well aware of this fact. Under the current circumstances, someone must stay behind to stop these Lahem. Even though it is difficult to achieve, he must try.

The Flower Magician has made his decision!

"Fujimaru-kun! Leave this to me!"

In the high-energy review, the battle between the Lahmu group and Fujimaru Ritsuka's group is still going on.

Merlin, who had just collided with Lahem, also felt that the situation was not good.

There was no longer any nonchalant look on his face. Instead, he looked at Lahm in front of him with determination.

“Although I wanted to try saying this a long time ago.”

Feeling that they had made up their minds, the two of them didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Merlin............."

"Anyway... now that things have come to this, let me show you my special skills."

As he said this, a holy sword appeared out of thin air in Merlin's hand right before everyone's eyes.

When most of the audience thought that this slick-talking guy was just using swordsmanship as a supplement to his magic attacks...

Merlin, holding the sword in his right hand and the staff in his left and right hands, turned into a shadow and rushed towards Lahem at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

For a moment, Merlin's speed seemed to tear through space, and he stabbed directly at Laheem as if he had teleported.

"What happened! I only saw a wave of energy created by the silver-white sword blade, and then I went blind..."
